Another signal was identified on chromosome 17 in the region of SKAP1 (SRC kinase-associated phosphoprotein 1 gene (Fig. 3A)) which had been previously reported to be associated with ovarian cancer in the European and Chinese Han populations.57,58 The expression levels of these genes were found to be associated with ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancer risk.59–61. Here, SKAP1 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
